Possibly no. You need not have the ipill. May be you are having a viral fever. However, my advice is, never have intercourse during menstruation. Chance of developing endometriosis, a most pitiable condition in an woman's life, is more. It is not a healthy practice.

Dear Lybrate user. I can understand. You can always check the fertilization chart available freely in internet. 7 days from the first day of period and seven days before the first day of period is considered safe. Other days chances of pregnancy is more. But you can always use precautions like male or female condoms. Take care.

It is called as round ligament pain. It occurs because her ligaments gets stretched by growing uterus, and with brisk movement or getting up it produces pain. If pain is severe one can take tab. Crocin or parcetamol for pain relief. In the meantime it is better to have per vaginal examination by a gynecologist to check everything is normal specially cervical length. Pain can occur because of urine infection also, in that case she will have burning and increased frequency of urination.

Let us admit the truth- intercourse may be a fearsome factor for many who are going to experience it for the first time. Boys and girls alike undergo a tremendous tension before experiencing lovemaking for the first time. These worries can be abandoned and you can obtain complete enjoyment at the first intercourse itself by; taking some minor precautions. You must take mental precautions primarily before having first sexual relationship. If you are physically and mentally stimulated to have the first time physical relationship, you may never have any fears. At the same time never worry about your or your partner's virginity. If you are having sex for the first time, you will be a virgin and you shouldn't feel inferior about it. If you feel pressurized to have intercourse for the first time, stay away from it. It is always advisable to select the apt partner for your first sex. Only because he/she is your boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't mean that you have to loose your virginity to them. [an error occurred while processing this directive] You must be mature enough to discuss about sexual precautions on the verge of your first intercourse. The first and foremost precaution is to arm yourself with condoms either for yourself or for your boyfriend. It is better to stay away from oral, fingering, anal and hand plays at your private areas, since it may aggravate the chance for sexually transmitted diseases. There are chances for pregnancy at the first sex itself. It doesn't make a difference if you are having first sex in a bath or in a standing position. If you are not ready to become parent, use contraception or fix things with the help of a doctor. You must be vigilant to take precautions regarding your partner's feelings before having first intercourse. Many girls and boys are scared about the pain during first intercourse. First time intercourse may not always hurt and at the same may not be great also. Girls have more chances to experience pain due to their hymen breaking. Their partners can be gentle t them and try to enjoy the sexual pleasure. The first time love makers can find out the fantasy dreams of their partners and play according to that. Love and foreplay are essential actions before you lust each other. Your partner may take a while to tell about where they would like to be touched and how. You can talk to your partner "how" and "where" you can find more sexual thrill. After your first lovemaking do not forget to wash up and clean yourself before moving onto other passionate affairs.

The sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves in the body. It goes from the lower back all the way down to the base of the leg. When there is a disorder associated with the sciatic nerve, it is known as Sciatica.

Sciatica, however, does not necessarily need a surgery or a very elaborate procedure to fix the problem. Most commonly, it is treated simply by practicing a number of simple exercises. Here are some of the most common exercises prescribed to treat Sciatica:

1. Reclining Pigeon Pose:There are three main forms of the pigeon pose. These are sitting, reclining and then forwarding. It is recommended that if you have very recently started your treatment for Sciatica, then certainly you should go for the reclining pose. In this pose, you are supposed to hold your left leg in the air at a right angle to your back. Then, hold your ankle against the knee. Finally, repeat this stretch with the right leg as well.

2. Knee to Opposite Shoulder:In this stretch, the starting position is on your back side. You have to have your legs out and feet upwards. From this position, try to bring your right leg towards your left shoulder. Hold this for 30 seconds and then release and relax. Repeat this activity three times and repeat the whole procedure with your other leg. Only take your leg as far as it goes.

3. Sitting Spinal Stretch:At the start of this exercise, sit on the ground with your legs going straight outwards and your feet flexed in the upward direction. Pull your left knee and put it on the outside of your right knee. Finally, place your right elbow on the left knee, so that your body turns to the left. Hold for 30 seconds and then relax. Repeat the procedure with the other knee.

4. Standing Hamstring Stretch:Put your foot on an elevated surface such that it is above the floor, but not above hip level. Flex your toes forward such that your feet and legs are nearly in a straight line. Bend as far towards the foot as possible. However, do not stretch so far that you feel pain. Finally, repeat this procedure on the other side after release.

Miscarriage refers to the spontaneous loss of the fetus before one completes the 20th week of pregnancy, taking into account the period from the conception to gestation. It usually happens in the first trimester of the pregnancy; that is within the seventh and the twelfth week of conception. Recurrent miscarriage is when one suffers from multiple miscarriages in a row.

Possible Causes:

Abnormally-shaped Uterus: Some miscarriages, particularly late ones, are thought to happen because the uterus (womb) has an abnormal shape.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Women with this condition have many small cysts in their ovaries.They also tend to have hormonal problems, including high levels of insulin and male hormone in the blood, which can lead to recurrent miscarriage.

Infection: Some serious infections can cause or increase the risk of single miscarriages. These include toxoplasmosis, rubella, listeria and genital infection. But it is not clear whether infection plays a role in recurrent miscarriage.

you and your partner are older; the risk is highest if you are over 35 and your partner over 40;

you are very overweight. Being very underweight may also increase your risk.

Each new pregnancy loss increases the risk of a further miscarriage. But even after three miscarriages, most couples will have a live baby next time.

Testing After Recurrent Miscarriage:

If you have had three miscarriages in a row, you should be offered tests to try to find the cause. This should happen whether or not you already have one or more children. Testing is not usually offered after one or two early miscarriages (up to 14 weeks) because these are often due to chance. But you might be offered tests after two early miscarriages if you are in your late 30s or 40s or if it has taken you a long time to conceive.
If you had a late (second trimester) miscarriage, where your baby died after 14 weeks of pregnancy, you should be offered tests after this loss.

You can opt for blood tests to check for sticky blood syndrome or APS. Tests would look for antibodies that would help treat the condition. Antibodies are chemicals produced by the body to combat infections.

Get an examination done should the doctor suspect chromosomal abnormalities and in case it is diagnosed, both of you can consult a clinical genetics specialist for genetics counseling.

Your doctor will recommend an ultrasound scan to trace any type of abnormality that may make a pregnancy futile, for instance, a short or a fragile cervix.

Your hopes:

It is natural to pin your hopes on testing as the answer to your problems. But there are three reasons why it may not be the answer you’re looking for:

A cause may not be found; when this happens your miscarriages are called ‘unexplained’

Even if a cause is found, it may not be treatable;

Treatment may not lead to a successful pregnancy. This can happen if a pregnancy miscarries for a different reason than the one being treated.

Yes you are right, there is increase of feminising hormones in your body. Every woman has some male hormones and every male has some female hormones but they are in balance, so that identity is not distorted, if worried or conscious, consult a plastic surgeon.
